Abstract: The Fe63.3Mn14Si9.1Cr9.8C3.8 medium entropy alloy coating was prepared on the surface of 304 stainless steel by laser melting technology. The optimum process parameters of Fe-based medium entropy alloy coating were obtained by orthogonal test design. The microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating were observed and tested. The results show that the optimum parameters are laser power 1 500 W, scanning speed 4 mm/s and spot diameter 4 mm. The Fe63.3Mn14Si9.1Cr9.8C3.8medium entropy alloy coating is mainly simple FCC phase structure. The average microhardness of the coating is 279HV0.1, which is about 1.4 times that of the 304 stainless steel matrix 200HV0.1. In 3.5% NaCl solution, the current density of Fe63.3Mn14Si9.1Cr9.8C3.8 medium entropy alloy coating is 2.532×10-6 A·cm-2, which is one order of magnitude lower compared to 304 stainless steel. The coating shows obvious passivation behavior. Under dry friction conditions, the friction coefficient of the coating is 0.55, which is lower than that of 304 stainless steel, and its wear rate is 6.26×10-4 mm3/(N·m), which is 34% lower compared to 304 stainless steel. The corrosion resistance of Fe63.3Mn14Si9.1Cr9.8C3.8 medium entropy alloy coating in 3.5% NaCl solution is better than that of 304 stainless steel, and good wear resistance, which has potential application value.
